Title changes on kindle

I did numerous searches, but can't find anything about this....

I have a few kindle books that have odd names on the kindle.
file:///G|/rah/Bill%20Baldwin/Baldwin,%20Bill%20-%20The%20Helmsman%2007%20-%20The%20Defiance.txt

So I put it into Calibre and change the Title of the book and the author. I load it onto Kindle and once again it is that bizarre looking name.

I've noticed under the editing window, that I can hit the i button (load metadata from the metadata in the selected format and it changes it to the bizarre name.

I go into the folder and even delete the metadata file, but that doesn't help.

I've also noticed this happens even when the title was something less bizarre. I renamed a large series to have a number at the beginning to make it easier to find the one I wanted, but the old title still appears in the kindle without the number.

Can anyone help?
